Thistledown "Suilven" Single Vineyard Chardonnay 2021

Adelaide Hills er kendt for at producere Chardonnay i verdensklasse og byder på frodige, bølgende bakker, dramatiske skråninger og en række unikke mikroklimaer, der skaber vine med enestående kompleksitet og elegance. Blandt Hills' mange underregioner skiller Piccadilly sig ud som en af de højeste og køligste, hvilket gør den til kilden til de absolut bedste druer. Inspireret af det majestætiske bjerg Suilven, repræsenterer denne vin toppen af Thisledowns hvidvinskunst.

93+/100 Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
'Concrete egg and barrel used in this wine, fruit hand-picked from a single vineyard, though I’m not sure which vineyard that is.
Spicy Japanese ginger oak, almond, a minor amount of struck match, white peach and lemon zest. It’s fine and slightly milky in texture, has a soft grip and texture, again the ginger over peach and pink grapefruit. It finishes pretty long, with an almost chalky texture. High quality, obviously still quite young, and feels in evolution; like it’s going somewhere better, for sure.’

‘Attractive lemon-pastry aromas with grapefruit and a gently flinty edge, too. The palate has a fresh, juicy feel with bright lemons, as well as a layered texture and white peaches to close. All here. Drink over the next five years.’

 
93/100 – Robert Parker
‘Hand-harvested from a few rows of a single vineyard and fermented in barrel and concrete egg, there are only 820 bottles of the very fine 2019 Suilven Chardonnay. Boasting restrained aromas of pencil shavings, pear and citrus, it's medium-bodied but generous, with a wonderfully silky texture on the palate, round, ripe melon flavors and a harmonious, lingering finish. Drink it over the next 4–5 years.’
